Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 9, 1919.

Application filed February 17, 1919. x Serial no. 277,532.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnoner. DIAMOND, a citizen of the United States, andresident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and Stateoi'lVisconsin, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in PaperBoxes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description thereof.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in paper boxes, moreparticularly 01"- that ornamental type adapted to contain candies andthe like and known to the candy trade as a shouldered box, wherein aninner box member is provided which seats within a pan shaped outer boxmember and projects a considerable distance above the walls of the outerbox member, which thus form an intermediate shoulder on the walls of thecompleted box structure.

It is primarily the object of my invention to improve the constructionof boxes of this character, particularly with respect to the ease withwhich said boxes may be assembled, and with respect to the provision ofa desired neatness and strength of structure with a minimum amount ofmaterial and a minimum number of manufacturing steps.

Inasmuch as a considerable item of expense in connection with boxesofthis character is the excess shipping charges of such boxes when shippedin finished form, due to their bulk, a further object of my inventionresides in the provision of box structures of this nature which may beshipped in partially assembled condition to occupy a minimum amount ofspace, and which may be most readily set up by the purchaser, as

the necessity for their use arises.

lVith the above and other objects and advantages in view, the inventionresides more particularly in the novel combination, formation andarrangement of parts hereinafter described and pointed out in theappended claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shouldered box constructed inaccordance with my invention.

2 isa vertical sectional view through one end portion of the box on theplane indicated by the line 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of theinner box member.

Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, 5 and 6designate respectively the side and end. walls, and 7 designates thebottom of the outer portion of a shouldered box constructed inaccordance with my invention, the, walls 5 being substantially half theheight of the finished box structure. i "The inner member of my box isformed from a blank comprising a pair of side walls 8 and 9 connected byfoldlines with an inblank of the upper edge of the end wall 10 is aninner wall section 13, and similarly extending from the end wall 11 isan inner end wall 14 from which extends an inner bottom section 15,separated from the section 14 by fold lines. Ornamental flaps 16 extendfrom the upper edges of the side walls 8 and 9, and have their free edgeportions preferably scalloped as shown, or otherwise ornamented, itbeing noted that these flaps may be stamped to give a lace-like eifect.

The box structure is thus provided in two distinct parts, and inshipping a number of boxes, the inner sections are shipped fiat, whilethe outer sections are equal in bulk to but half the bulk of thecompleted boxes, whereby to effect a decided economy in ship ping, itbeing appreciated that if desired, the outer sections could also beshipped inflat form and set up in any suitable manner, not

pertinent to the present invention.

In assembling the box, the inner surfaces of the inner wall sections 13and 14 and bottom section 15 are covered with paste. The connected wallsare then opened out and the inner box member set in the outermemtermediate end wall 10, the side wall 9 havher, the inner bottomsection 15 being pasted againstthe bottom 5 and the connecting wallsections 13 and 14 being pasted against the main end wall sections 10and 11, the lower portions of the walls 8, 9, l0 and 11 beingal-so'ipasted against the walls 5 and 6' of the outer box member. 7

it strong and attractive box structure is thus provided, which may bemost readily assembled, particularly permitting assembly by thepurchaser.

What is claimed is: V

-1'. A box of the class described comprising an outer box member havingside and endwalls and an inner box member formed of a blank comprisingside walls connected by fol-d lines with an intermediate end wall, and asecond end Wall connected by fold lines with onset the side walls andsecured to the other sidewall, said inner boxmeniber being set Withinthe outer boxmember, the walls of said" inner box member being ofgreater height than the Walls of the outerbox member whereby theupperedges of the walls of the outer ubox member form intermediate shoulderson the outer faces of the walls of the completed b'ox structureandaninner bottom sect on extending from and separated by fold linesfrom one of the walls of the inner box member.

2. A box of the class described comprising an outer box member havingside and end Walls and an inner box member formed of 'a blank comprisingside walls connected by fold lines with an intermediate end wall, and asecond end wall connected by 'l'old lines with one of the side walls andsecured to the other side wall, said inner box 1116]]!- ber being setwithin the outer box member, the wall of said inner box member being ofgreater height than the walls of the outer box member whereby the upperedges of the walls of the outer box member form intermediate shoulderson the outer faces of the walls of the completed box structure, innerend wall. sections connected by fold lines with and secured againsttheinner faces of the end walls or" the inner box member, and an innerbottom section extending from one of said inner end wall sections.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing l have hereunto set my hand atlVIilwankee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of \Visconsin.
